Why a Market and Distribution Commission?

The fruits and vegetables producers are more than every other directly dependent on the daily balance between supply and demand, in a market subjected to the pressure of all the competitions.

To understand the mechanisms of the market, the strengths in presence, to plan and anticipate the cyclical crises and to implement the measures of regulation of the supply and the stimulation of the demand, are in the heart of the missions entrusted to the producers' organizations and the fruit and vegetables common market organization .

In this purpose, and to facilitate the dialogue between the producing regions, the AREFLH created a Market and Distribution Commission, led by Afrucat.It gathers regularly producers' organizations to make together a common and a projected analysis of the market.
